The new attraction will have flowers from all over the world, including some never seen in Singapore.
SINGAPORE: For a year, horticulturist Melissa Tan and her team have been brewing fairy tales, flowers and technology into a new thematic attraction for Gardens by the Bay.
The word"magic" came up more than once as Ms Tan described to reporters how creating Floral Fantasy required both green fingers and engineering chops. There is also a poison dart frog vivarium, which Ms Tan estimates will eventually be home to about 30 frogs. “We had to work with space constraints, and worked with a lot of ceiling plants which are up above," she said.
Senior Assistant Director of Gardens Operations, Ms Melissa Tan, has been with Gardens by the Bay since the beginning of the project in 2007. “You’ll see sights that normally you’ll not see,” said Mr Barry Wong, vice-president of training and simulation systems at ST Engineering. This is because of the different angles shown in the clip, such as one of the dragonfly plunging straight down a waterfall.Local artist Kristine Hakim will also be exhibiting her work, created just for Floral Fantasy’s Artist Corner.
